  • Vigesimal Numerals on Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) Dialects of Yorùbá
    Vigesimal Numerals on Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) Dialects of Yorùbá Felix Abídèmí Fábùnmi (Ilé-Ifẹ̀) Abstract This study intends to bring Ifẹ̀ (Togo) into a linguistic limelight using the numeral systems. Numerals are a very important aspect of the day to day socio-economic and linguistic life of Ifẹ̀ (Togo) people. The traditional Ifẹ̀ (Togo) number system is vigesimal. In this study, forty- two different number words are listed for Yorùbá Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) and Yorùbá Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and compared with Standard Yorùbá. We compared the Ifẹ̀ (Togo) number words and counting patterns with that of the Standard Yorùbá and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) and discovered that, by the nature of the components of these numbers, majority of the basic number words are either bisyllabic or trisyllabic, each syllable having the form VCV for the cardinals, and CVCV for the ordinals. There are irregularities in tonality; there are also alternations in the sequences of the vowel (oral and nasalized) and consonant sounds. This work finds out that Ifẹ̀ (Togo) has two counting patterns. In the first pattern, it uses addition solely to derive the number words but with a counting pattern where 'ten', 'twenty' and the added number units are taken as a whole. In the second counting pattern, subtraction is used to derive number words but this is applicable only to three numbers i. e. seventeen – /mɛ́ɛtadínóɡú/, eighteen – /méèʤìdínóɡu/ and nineteen – /mɔ̀kɔ̃dínoɡ́ u/. The Ifẹ̀ (Togo) dialect of Yorùbá mostly uses additive number positions. The dialect favours additive number positions more than the subtractive and the multiplicative positions. In other words, higher numbers are frequently used as bases for addition not as bases for multiplication in Ifẹ̀ (Togo).

  • Southern Nigerian Cinema Author: Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 2 by Añulika Agina
    Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema Author: Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 2 By Añulika Agina Copyright: Genevieve Nnaji/TEN - The Entertainment Network Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 3 By Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema A significant amount of literature exists on the southern Nigerian cinema, which was inaugurated with the 1992 Igbo-language film, Living in Bondage. Little is known and documented about the colonial cinema of Nigeria and the period immediately after colonial rule. Although films were made in the 1970s and 1980s by filmmakers such as Eddie Ugboma, Ola Balogun and Ladi Ladebo, such films and critical analyses about them are not readily accessible. Hyginus Ekwuazi, Jonathan Haynes and Onookome Okome (see texts below) have written excellent accounts of the history of Nigerian cinema, especially of the Nollywood boom and the socio- cultural contexts that gave rise to them. The film industry in southern Nigeria is today the largest in Africa, producing over a thousand film titles per annum with locally sourced funds and distributed internationally. Foreign investment in Nigerian film is on the rise given the visibility that local productions have created at home and abroad. The government has also taken notice of the commercial viability of the industry and pledged billions of naira through the Bank of Industry to support the film business. The films receive critical acclaim and are commercial hits within Africa and among Africans in the diaspora. The sections below provide some critical texts and film titles to guide new comers to the nature and scholarship on the Nigerian film industry. The lists are by no means exhaustive; they only serve as a tip of the iceberg in the hope that interested parties can request additional information by emailing aa207@ soas.ac.uk or [email protected] Some Key Texts Ekwuazi, H.

  • Socio-Economic Impacts of Settlers in Ado-Ekiti
    International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 3, Issue 2, 2017, PP 19-26 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0302002 www.arcjournals.org Socio-Economic Impacts of Settlers in Ado-Ekiti Adeyinka Theresa Ajayi (PhD)1, Oyewale, Peter Oluwaseun2 Department of History and International Studies, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State Nigeria Abstract: Migration and trade are two important factors that led to the commercial growth and development of Ado-Ekiti during pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial period. These twin processes were facilitated by efforts of other ethnic groups, most notably the Ebira among others, and other Yoruba groups. Sadly there is a paucity of detailed historical studies on the settlement pattern of settlers in Ado-Ekiti. It is in a bid to fill this gap that this paper analyses the settlement pattern of settlers in Ado-Ekiti. The paper also highlights the socio- economic and political activities of settlers, especially their contributions to the development of Ado-Ekiti. Data for this study were collected via oral interviews and written sources. The study highlights the contributions of settlers in Ado-Ekiti to the overall development of the host community 1. INTRODUCTION Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti state is one of the state in southwest Nigeria. the state was carved out from Ondo state in 1996, since then, the state has witness a tremendous changes in her economic advancement. The state has witness the infix of people from different places. Settlement patterns in intergroup relations are assuming an important area of study in Nigeria historiography.

  • 1 Geography and Society
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-06460-7 — The Yoruba from Prehistory to the Present Aribidesi Usman , Toyin Falola Excerpt More Information 1 1 Geography and Society Stories of Odud uwa’s arrival at Il e- Ife, and his children’s subsequent migration into new territories (Atanda 1980 :2; Johnson 1921 ), mark the beginning of Yoruba history studies, from Ajayi Crowther and Samuel Johnson onwards. One origin legend, claiming that the Y oruba had inhabited their territory from time immemorial, begins with Olod umare (God) sending Oduduwa from heaven to create the solid earth and the human race (Atanda 1980 :1– 2). In the legend, Oduduwa descends to earth on a long chain and lands at Ile- Ife, where he establishes solid ground and plants the i rst seed (Akintoye 2004 :4– 5). This tradition establishes Ile-Ife as the cradle of the Yoruba, and Oduduwa as the Yoruba’s progenitor, or i rst ancestor. Oduduwa was considered the founder of the i rst Yoruba kingdom, situated in Ile- Ife, beginning the Yoruba kingship. Another version of the origin myth, detailing later developments, claims that Oduduwa led the Yoruba to their present location after migrating from the east. The story claims that the migration was caused by political disturbances accompanying the expansion of Islam (Atanda 1980 ), but the exact location of the legend’s “east” is not def- inite. A third claim, divergent from the above traditions, asserts that Ile- Ife was already inhabited when Oduduwa arrived. This introduces the story of Agbo nmiregun, whom Oduduwa met at Ile-Ife (Atanda 1980 ).

  • Topics on Yoruba Nominal Expressions
    TOPICS ON YORUBA NOMINAL EXPRESSIONS by OLADIIPO JACOB AJIBOYE B.A (1983), P.G.D.E (1988), MA (1992), University of florin A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Linguistics) THE UNIVERISTY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2005 © Oladiipo Jacob Ajiboye, 2005 ABSTRACT This thesis discusses four selected topics on Yoruba nominal expressions: the syntax of possessives, the construal of bare nouns, the marking of specificity and salience, and plural marking strategies. Regarding possessives, it is proposed that they have one base structure (a vP shell). The difference in surface linear order between verbal and nominal genitives is determined by which of the two arguments move. In nominal genitives, the possessum moves. In verbal genitives, it is the possessor that moves. Regarding the interpretation of Yoruba bare nouns, it is shown that they can be construed in one of three ways: as generics, as indefinites, or as definites. First, generics may be lexically conditioned (with permanent state predicates) or grammatically conditioned (with transitory predicates through the use of imperfective maa-n). Second, wherever a generic construal is illicit, an indefinite construal is licit. Third, definite construals are discourse-linked. Regarding specificity, it is shown that Yoruba overtly marks specificity on NPs with the element kan. Regarding salience, it is shown that definite DPs are morphologically marked as salient (by virtue of being unique, in an identity relation or additive) through the use of nda. Finally, regarding plural marking, it is shown that Yoruba uses three different strategies: contextually, semantically, or morphologically determined plurality.
